* Stiri din partea lui David Silveria! Din pacate, acestea sunt de natura culinara.
Pe 13 decembrie 2006, David Silveria, tobosarul trupei KoRn, isi anunta plecarea temporara din formatie. Ceea ce parea insa o scurta pauza, s-a dovedit a fi nu numai o retragere din KoRn, ci o incetare completa a oricarei activitati muzicale. Dupa plecarea din formatie, foarte putine lucruri s-au mai auzit despre Silveria, acesta retragandu-se alaturi de familie si ocupandu-se de restaurantul sau de sushi si de barul Rock and Sports.
In 2007, Jonathan Davis recunostea ca Silveria probabil nu va fi pe urmatorul album KoRn, in acelasi an fiind cooptat si un inlocuitor: Ray Luzier. In iunie 2008 apareau zvonuri conform carora Silveria canta intr-o noua trupa numita Satellite Syndrome, acestea s-au dovedit insa complet eronate.
In mai 2009, Silveria a anuntat pe pagina sa de myspace ca isi vinde toate tobele si accesoriile folosite. "I heard he doesn't even own a drumstick anymore", a confirmat fostul sau coleg, Munky. Pe aceeasi pagina, care fost stearsa intre timp, David oferea un indiciu sugestiv asupra motivelor care l-au determinat sa renunte, la capitolul "music" fiind trecut simplu "too much".
Prima aparitie publica a lui Silveria dupa dezertarea din KoRn a fost in cadrul show-ului de televiziune "Dancing with the Stars", unde a sustinut-o pe concurenta Lil Kim.
Iata ca Silveria revine neasteptat cu un interviu in care, spre dezamagirea fanilor, fostul tobosar vorbeste exclusiv despre noul sau restaurant, Silvera's Rockbar, deschis in Huntington Beach, California.
* Clasica trupa canadiana de post-rock/experimental Godspeed You! Black Emperor va reveni pe scena dupa o absenta de 7 ani. Formatia a emis urmatorul comunicat pe site-ul oficial:
"FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
after a decade’s retreat, god’s pee has decided to roll again. we are, as always, stoked, stubborn and petrified. it’ s been awhile, and left in the rain, the brakes have rusted and seized – we’ll have to go at it with hammers probably,with elbow grease and with fury, just like the old days all over again. we look forward to it. also, moya’s back in the fold (hallelujah!)
what we’ve been up to since the last time= a handful of other bands, and solitary roadtrips and wanderings, a couple of recording studios built, and a restaurant and 3 live venues also. a film soundtrack and 4 new kids and 3 new dogs. dead-end jobs. some farming and vegetable gardens. a small record label. acupuncture as a livelihood. and three of us just stayed on the road.
current plans= a.t.p.u.k, a handful of british and european shows, and then 9 american towns. until further introspection, WE WILL NOT BE FIELDING ANY OTHER OFFERS. nor will we be doing any interviews. inquiries directed to band, record label, or bookers will not be guaranteed a reply. alls we really want to do is the thing we do, heads down and leaned into the squall.
between now and the live-dates, there’ll be rivers of noise and distraction. and the internet is a petty tyrannical monster. please remember that really all that matters is the keep on keeping on. and all that really matters is the shows. and physical engagement in the world. and folks like us and folks like you.
thanks for understanding, and thank you for still listening.
see you next winter.
xoxoxox godspeed you ! black emperor""
Comunicatului i-a fost atasata urmatoarea imagine:
Deocamdata formatia refuza sa ofere interviuri sau alte detalii despre viitorul trupei. Pana in prezent, Godspeed You! Black Emperor au lansat 4 albume de studio, "All Lights Fucked on the Hairy Amp Drooling" (1994), "F#A#" (1997), "Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven" (2000) si "Yanqui U.X.O." (2002). In 2003 membrii trupei anuntau ca vor lua o pauza pe termen nelimitat, pentru a se concentra asupra altor proiecte.
* Soundgarden vor fi printre headlinerii festivalului Lollapalooza din acest an, care va avea loc in perioada 6-8 august la Grant Park din Chicago. Este primul concert confirmat de Chris Cornell, Kim Thayil, Matt Cameron si Ben Shepherd dupa reuniunea anuntata la inceputul acestui an.

Line-up-ul festivalului Lollapalooza din acest an, ajuns la cea de-a paisprezecea editie, ii numara, printre altii, pe Green Day, Arcade Fire, The Strokes, Social Distortion, MGMT, Devo, Cypress Hill, Gogol Bordello, Metric sau AFI.
* Un trailer de 30 de secunde al viitorului videoclip Deftones, 'Diamond Eyes', poate fi urmarit mai jos. Videoclipul a fost realizat de Robert Schober, care a mai lucrat de-a lungul carierei cu Metallica sau Mastodon. Premiera videoclipului va avea loc luni, 13 aprilie.
* "Based On A True Story", viitorul album de studio al celor de la Sick Of It All, poate fi ascultat integral pe pagina de myspace a formatiei. Materialul va fi lansat oficial peste 9 zile, fiind cel de-al noualea album de studio lansat de trupa in cei 24 de ani de activitate neintrerupta.
"Based On A True Story" va contine 14 piese, un prim videoclip urmand sa fie filmat pentru piesa care deschide albumul, 'Death Or Jail'. Va fi primul disc lansat pentru label-ul Century Media Records, formatia mai colaborand in trecut cu Relativity Records ("Blood, Sweat and No Tears", "Just Look Around"), East West Records ("Scratch The Surface", "Built To Last"), Fat Wreck Chords ("Call To Arms", "Yours Truly", "Life On The Ropes") si Abacus Recordings ("Death To Tyrants").
* O noua piesa de pe viitorul album Godsmack, 'The Oracle', poate fi ascultata online. 'Love-Hate-Sex-Pain' are o durata de 05:15 si va ocupa pozitia a patra in tracklist.
"The Oracle" este cel de-al cincilea album din discografia Godsmack si va fi lansat pe data de 4 mai, via Universal/Republic, label-ul care s-a ocupat si de precedentele realizari ale trupei.
Un prim single de pe album, 'Crying Like A Bitch', a fost lansat pe 23 februarie, piesa fiind o reactie violenta la adresa atitudinii de "rock star" cu care Godsmack s-au confruntat in turneul sustinut alaturi de Motley Crue. Solistul Sully Erna spunea despre piesa: 'It's a really tough song, very tough song, very tough riff, the drums are very aggressive and tight, the whole groove just had an edge to it, so not only did the lyrical content match the music very well, but it also just made me feel it just needed to be a gang, a gang enhancement on the chorus.'
* Scurte sample-uri ale celor noua piese care vor fi incluse pe urmatorul album de studio The Melvins, cel de-al optsprezecelea din cariera trupei, pot fi ascultate pe Amazon.com, la acest link.
"The Bride Screamed Murder" va fi lansat pe 1 iunie la Ipecac Recordings si va contine urmatoarele piese:
01. 'The Water Glass' (4:16)
02. 'Evil New War God' (4:48)
03. 'Pig House' (5:29)
04. 'I'll Finish You Off' (4:57)
05. 'Electric Flower' (3:27)
06. 'Hospital Up' (5:38)
07. 'Inhumanity And Death' (3:03)

09. 'P.G. x 3' (6:20).
* Formatia franco-germana de ethereal wave/dream pop Dark Orange se pregateste de lansarea unui nou album de studio. Acesta va fi intitulat "Clouds, Paperships and Fallen Angels", va fi lansat la label-ul Kalinkaland si va cuprinde 12 piese.
Dark Orange s-au format in 1990, fiind alaturi de Stoa, Love Is Colder Than Death sau Chandeen, fondatorii miscarii "heavenly voices", dezvoltata in jurul casei de discuri Hyperium. Trupa a lansat pana in prezent 3 albume de studio, "Dahlia" (1990), "Oleander" (1991) si "The Garden of Poseidon" (1993).
* Site-ul Hellbound a realizat un interviu foarte interesant cu Tom Gabriel Fischer (aka Warrior), solistul formatiilor Hellhammer, Celtic Frost si Triptykon si unul dintre cei mai importanti muzicieni ai scenei metal din ultimele decenii.
Interviul poate fi citit in intregime aici. Iata cateva fragmente:
"In 2007 there were already a huge amount of problems. I hoped we could overcome these problems. Celtic Frost was my life’s work. It was the most important project in my career. You just don’t throw that away. You try to resolve the problems. I did everything I could think of to avoid the breakup. I didn’t want to let the band go. But it was simply impossible to overcome certain personal issues."
"It’s overwhelming; the reception the new album has received. I knew that I would have to drop from Celtic Frost’s level and that was ok with me. I’m not afraid of having to work hard. I’ve worked hard my whole life. The response is much bigger than I anticipated."
"I’m a musician and I write constantly. I always think about the next album. The songwriting was a continued process up to last December. It’s a natural progression. I wanted to develop the music I created on Monotheist. It’s related, but not the same."
"Giger’s has long been an inspiration even though he’s not a musician. His paintings have a tremendous influence on my music. I’ve always tried to achieve this aura with my music that he has in his painting. I’m very open as far as creativity is concerned. I don’t need to listen to music, ideas can come from text or a sculpture or painting."
* Fostul manager al trupei Sex Pistols, Malcolm McLaren, a decedat joi, 8 aprilie, intr-o clinica din Elvetia, la varsta de 64 de ani. Malcolm fusese diagnosticat cu cancer in luna octombrie a anului trecut. Ultimele sale cuvinte au fost: "Free Leonard Peltier!". Corpul sau va fi ingropat in cimitirul Highgate din Londra. Malcolm a jucat un rol esential in crearea imaginii si conceptului de punk rock.
Johhny Rotten, Sex Pistols: "For me Malc was always entertaining, and I hope you remember that. Above all else he was an entertainer and I will miss him, and so should you."
Steve Jones, Sex Pistols: "Malcolm was definitely the Brian Epstein of punk — without him it wouldn't have happened the way it did. I stayed friends with him throughout the years despite some of our differences."
* Trupa de avant-garde/progressive/experimental metal Yakuza va lansa un nou album de studio, intitulat "Of Seismic Consequence", pe data de 8 iunie, via Profound Lore Records. Va fi cel de-al cincilea LP din discografia formatiei, precedentele fiind "Amount To Nothing" (2001), "Way Of The Dead" (2002), "Samsara"(2006) si "Transmutations" (2007). CD-ul a fost inregistrat la studiourile Semaphore din Chicago, Illinois, alaturi de producatorul Sanford Parker, care a mai colaborat cu Pelican sau Minsk.
O piesa care va fi inclusa pe viitorul album, intitulata 'Stones And Bones', poate fi downloadata gratuit aici.
Formatia abordeaza un gen eclectic, cu inflexiuni jazz, world beat sau post-rock, si influente ce variaza de la King Crimson si Tortoise pana la Napalm Death.
